Stop watching AR:AS?! No way, right now it's just getting good. My least favorite teams are crashing and burning. Why would I miss that? And plus, I still haven't seen last night's episode and I hear it's good.

Rob said they were 10 minutes behind Shmirna (on Regis ). Rob said it was all his fault ..then Rob talked about Shmirna , says Charla is a sweetheart but Mirna plays up being the martyr and is abarsive to watch at times. They said they are talking about starting a family. They played down what they have coming up for a tv show, but on Regis they were excited about it.

They pretty much said the same thing on TES. Amber also said that there is no rule that says you can't lie. She used that non-rule on Shmirna several times last night

Did anyone else find the letter written to Rob and Amber a bit rude and abrasive??? I hope the whole letter wasn't like that casuse that was terrible of CBS to allow that letter to be given to them, it should have been a positive experience for everyone. There HAD to be a team from season 7 that could of written a "nice" letter to Rob and Amber. I really did feel horrible for them......kick them while they're already down....

Did you listen to any of the other letters? CBS obviously did not censor them. Marshall and Lance really ripped into Mirna and Charla. The same people (Patrick and Susan) who wrote that letter to Rob and Amber wrote a totally different one to Uchenna and Joyce, so it was apparent that they felt quite differently about the teams.

Agreed. And it appeared obvious that Rob was not going to read much more of it on air. The producers erred. They could have contacted several other teams to submit letters and chosen something much better.

Yeah, I heard theres too and, as much as I DON'T like them, CBS could have done a better job of finding uplifting, positive teams/letters for this particular task for all of the teams. It seemed to me that Romber and Schmirna were the only negatvie letters (unless I missed something).

The letter from Patrick & Susan reinforced why I didn't like them when they were on. How childish! (As opposed to kudos to Lyn for using the opportunity to show a better side of her than we saw in TAR10.) I'll have to go back and check, but it seemed like once Rob realized how ugly the letter was, he quit reading it, as if it was worthless, which it was.

Does anyone know anything on Rob and Amber's upcoming project? I got to thinking about it and came up with this idea. It's common knowledge that Jeff Probst wants to quit Survivor to spend more time with his girlfriend, Julie. I haven't heard if he's signed on for any more seasons. Maybe Rob and Amber are in talks to take over the job? I think that would be great! I would love to see them host Survivor. What does everyone think?

This interview makes it seem like a Rob project with Amber in a supporting role.

WHAT'S NEXT?Rob: I have a new project that I'm starting very soon. Unfortunately, I can't talk about it right now, but I promise it will be the biggest news you've ever heard. Amber: I'm just supporting him because it's actually something pretty big and it's going to require a two-person support system. I'm sitting back and taking some time off.

Just please lord--not some kind of Rob talk show!!

Rob & Amber Out But Not Down on Reality TV SUNDAY MARCH 18, 2007 08:00 AM EST

By Cynthia Wang

Though they are closing in on their second year of marriage, Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich are not, however, closing in on their second reality-show victory.

Last Sunday, the pair, winners of Survivor: All-Stars, became the fourth team out of The Amazing Race: All-Stars.

But fear not, Romber fans: The two may be back for a second season of their FOX Reality show Against the Odds - as well as something else that could be "be huge," promises Mariano.

During a rare break between TV appearances, Mariano, 31, and Brkich, 28, spoke to PEOPLE about their on-screen fortunes:

You had won three legs of the Race in a row but lost through a series of mishaps. Yet teams still competed hard with you until the end.

Rob: I couldn't believe it, to tell you the truth. I thought for sure they would have learned from the first season we did it that just focusing on us, all it's going to do is distract the teams, but what can I say? They took the bait again! We were thrilled.

Amber: It's actually a huge compliment.

Rob: No team had ever come in first for the first two legs in a row, never mind the first three, so we were definitely doing well until we ran into some bad luck.

Viewers, like your competition, love and hate you equally. Is that the key to your TV success?

Rob: I think it's great. By no means do we not realize that it's the fans that watch the shows that allow us to continue to be on TV and doing these things. There are people who love to root against us, but whether they love us or hate us, they're watching and we're pulling in viewers and the networks see that and it makes for dramatic television, which is what reality TV is all about.

You had your first executive-produced series on FOX Reality.

Rob: It's the first series in which Amber and I came up with the premise. I got to pursue my dream of playing poker and being tutored by one of the best in the world.

Amber: Rob would love to be back in Vegas any second. That show was special because we were actually living our real lives. We weren't starving on an island and being bitten alive by bugs.

So what's next for you?

Rob: Actually, we have a big project coming up, probably the biggest project we've ever worked on. It's bigger than Survivor and bigger than the Amazing Race. I mean, when you hear about this thing, it's going to be huge and it will blow your mind.

How about kids? Are there any in your future?

Amber: We definitely want a family and we've been talking about it. ... But I think it was also important for us to spend the first couple of years just the two of us together.
